“Lazy and corrupt politicians warn that if we do any work now then the poors and plebs will expect more work from us later. And why work when we can do virtually fuck all and get paid shit loads of cash for it?”
Why not? What, specifically is too far and what happens after?
Anything that can remotely impact the capital of billionaires, such as prosecuting Trump, getting people healthcare or blocking weapons to Israel.
Sounds about right.
Not go too far from the wishes of the oligarch, Epstein class!
advocating for all the things “Dems” promosied in the past but never delivered.
“if we promise too much, then they might expect us to follow through when we’re in power”
hakeems, schumer, slotkin, CORY booker, gillibrnd, and dozens of others blatantly on the right needs to go. schumer and hakeem are just lightning rod to protect the rest of the DINOS.
“Be more like the republicans!”
Bug Bunny “NOO” meme.
Fuck the centrists. They gave us Hillary, and she lost, and then they gave us Harris, and she lost. They’re chronic losers, they love it, and they’ll never change. CNN reports on them like their opinion matters, because CNN is centrist, too. Meh.
And don’t forget that the reason, the ONLY reason Biden won was because of Covid and Trump’s mismanagement of it. Without Covid, Trump would have won reelection in 2020. Centrist dems have been a losing brand for three election cycles at this point.
“This is not the time to show how progressive we can be. People need to see us fighting.”
That’s… That’s the same thing
People need to see us fighting.”
fighting against the fascists or fighting each other
yes
Being anything other than progressive at this point comes off as cowardly and complacent tbh. If you’re not left wing, then you’re not fighting.
Being progressive in the U.S. largely means moving towards what is centrist by European standards anyhow.
In reality, there are various definitions of “progressive”. Yours is yours, agreed on by millions, but millions of other people use different definitions.
Each person’s views will be slightly different, but ‘progressive’ in the context of American politics generally implies a platform that includes a support for universal healthcare, free college tuition, universal childcare, LGBTQ+ rights, being pro-immigrant, and anti-billionaire, among other unifying issues. Foreign policy preferences are more likely to vary, but being pro-Palestine and pro-Ukraine are to be generally expected.
Really depends on the issue. Somewhere like Oregon is far, far more progressive on issues like trans healthcare than anywhere in Europe.
or they will lose the AIPAC funded money, the MIC laundered money, or they loose industry backed lobbyist money.
No, see the reason why y’all are chronic losers is you guys don’t go far enough and honestly just cowards. Hope you guys have a burn out of your pathetic political career.
We voted for change and change will come.
If we are nice to the nazis, maybe they won’t try again!?
It’s like bosses tell you to ‘look’ like your doing something. WTF I do actually do something, I like doing, I’m not just here to milk money.
They are telling progressives ‘look’ like we are taking action but don’t change anything. It’s a tactic to keep the grift going.
If there was ever a time to go too far, this is it.
The corruption of the Democratic party on full display. No wonder they accomplish so little.
Grow a pair of balls for fucks sake
Grow a pair of balls for fucks sake
But I spent so much money getting rid of those damn things, why would I want another pair of those little bastards? 🤣
I disagree. I’ve always thought they fumble the balls well.
Democrats didn’t win yet, Republicans just lost. Democrats have their chance but can absolutely still blow it
Which is exactly what Neera Tanden, Chuck Schumer, AIPAC Shakur, Jared Moskowitz, and co. are trying to do.
